Chapter 48 ( The strange man)

In the evening, Ellie stood by the side of her window staring into thin space. There was only one thing she could think of - that strange man. How come she didn't remember anything concerning him during her stay at Zeddicus? How come she was remembering him now? But her mind went to something else immediately. His coat! She remembered that after he had given her his coat to go home with, she hadn't returned it. Then she gasped. Does it mean he has been coming to the woods to look for her? Hope he didn't come to the palace to ask about his coat? That would cause chaos.
